Kanye West’s upcoming U.S. tour will be sponsored by vodka firm Absolut.
The rapper has dubbed the trek, which begins in Seattle, Washington on 16 April, “The Glow in the Dark Tour Ignited By Absolut 100.”
West says he’s thrilled to stand alongside art and fashion icons like Andy Warhol and Tom Ford.
He explains, “This is a brand that has worked with the preeminent artists of the 20th century — Tom Ford, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Helmut Newton.
“These are individuals who have inspired me in my work, and I feel honored to be a part of this legacy.”
Absolut will sponsor after-parties in each tour city. (kanyelive.com)

"In the early 80s Keith Haring created hundreds of drawings in the New York Subway system. In the 1960s and the 1970s, the New York subway system, and the city's doorways and blank walls, became internationally famous as the breeding ground and blackboard for the most fertile and pervasive crop of graffiti artists since "Kilroy was here" in the aftermath of World War ll. It is, perhaps, no accident that in both instances stress and danger - combat conditions and a certain camaraderie - prevailed.
The graffiti artist, or "writers” as the prefer to be called, graduate at any age between eleven and sixteen , from the schools and sidewalks to that olympic arena - public transportation. Enormous media attention has been focused on them. There has been, however,no unanimity of opinion on their value or on what their presence indicates about our society. What to one observer seems a healthy artistic outlet for rage, frustration, and the opportunity to identity in a culture which only "stars" are admired, is to another the unsightly defacement of public property - a Bronx cheer at government and authority."
